New pc freezes when trying to boot

So I built a new computer, it didn't boot at all at first because of some bent socket pins. I fixed that so it boots now but it freezes when I try to get into windows. (I can get into the bios no problem). The PC itself doesn't turn off before it freezes but the lighting on my keyboard does turn off and on and I hear my headphones beeping, indicating that they're receiving power, right before everything freezes. I've already tried to test each ram stick on its own but that didn't help. My boot drive is a Seagate 1tb HDD but I wanted to migrate windows to a Samsung 860 qvo 1tb. Does anyone have an idea what could be happening?

16 gb of g-skill trident z @ 3200 mHz

How on earth did you manage to bend the socket pins??? 

You just had to let go the CPU on the socket in the right direction (little arrows on socket and cpu) and that was it!

The damage may be more than that, even one bend pin can cause you issues, have a very close look at them again!
